Township organizations

How It Works

  • Lake County is divided into 18 townships — the most local level of government, right in your neighborhood. 
  • The Lake County Republicans mirror this structure: one Republican organization for each of the 18 townships, aligning with the same boundaries and serving the same residents. 
  • This isn’t a distant county club — it’s your township’s Republican team, led by dedicated Township Chairmen. It’s where real grassroots community engagement takes place: doors knocked, voters turned out, and elections won street by street.

How To Get Involved

To get involved at the most effective local level:

  1. Determine which township you live in. If you're unsure about your township, you can check your property tax bill or do a quick Google search. 
  2. Reach out directly to your township’s Republican Chair. Their contact information is listed below.
